Several years ago, I’d knitted my dad a Chocolate Afghan, and since then I’d been wanting to knit my own. I finally got in the mood to knit again, and I decided to tackle this project. First, I ordered some yarn, and I chose Lion Brand’s Baby Soft Yarn in Sweet Pea. I started this project towards the end of April, and I finished it yesterday, with my mum helping me with the casting off.

This afghan was done with a US size 10 circular needles. I casted on 181 stitches and followed the seed stitch pattern. The final afghan measured out to be 46″ by 31″. This feels so much softer and lighter than the one I made for my dad. I love the end result, even if I don’t like all the mistakes I’ve made X_X. Still, though, this project is what got me to watch a lot of movies in May, and I’ve enjoyed knitting this and doing my movie marathons!

I didn’t know this knitted masterpiece is called an afghan! I thought it was a blanket XD. You’re so good at knitting!!! And have lots of patience for it too!! I tried a few times to learn how to knit but always failed…. So I gave up and stay amazed at people who know how to knit well. At least you can multitask knitting while watching movies!

Congrats on finishing it! I haven’t finished a knitting project in years! There was the scarf that I made for my boyfriend that took me two years to complete; it was two Christmases late. ^^;; And then I started a blanket project about two years ago and I think I’m only 1/5th done. I’ll probably be done in 8 years at this right!

I wish it were cold enough where I’m from so people don’t think I look crazy if I start knitting and wearing afghans. Great job with it though, it looks really nice. The color looks nice and I wish I can print clothing right now because I’d really print that! <3
